Recipe Tips

NoteFor best results, use potatoes that measure about 1-1/4-inches in diameter. You can also prepare this delicious recipe using baby red potatoes.
Sour Cream, Bacon & Chive Potato BitesOmit the broccoli and cheese dip. Top crackers with potatoes as directed, then top each with 1/2 tsp. sour cream, 1/4 tsp. bacon bits and a sprinkle of chopped fresh chives.
